Congrats to you too ratlab and good luck with the post interview decisions!

I just got an interview invitation from University of Alabama at Birmingham's Behavioral Neuroscience program.

Weird. I guess that it was probably some kind of pre-interview to find out more about me. I hope that I hear back soon...

Congrats lunarem and evrard on your acceptances! I had a phone interview with Arizona State last week. I haven't heard anything since then though.

Honestly there isn't that much of a difference in most schools. In many places you can still work under the same faculty member whether you are applying to neuroscience or behavioral neuroscience/biopsychology. A lot of the time even if you choose to do behavioral neuroscience/biopsychology you can still take the same types of electives, but this depends on the program. It may well vary from school to school, so just take a look and see if the faculty mentors/course schedules look the same. In the end what degree you get shouldn't matter as much as the type of work you do and what you are trained to do. Personally I would just apply to one program at each school. It will save you money and some schools have rules against applying to multiple programs. If you're having questions about the program you should apply to,at a certain school, you should try contacting the program coordinators and/or look at admissions requirements for both programs. I hope this helps!
